Chapter 37 Mysterious Woman Was Scalded

I went out the door and said, "The lady inside is going to soak the medicine for half an hour. You must not go in and disturb her."

I walked a long way before I relaxed. “Who is that person? Why did you give her medicine?”

Nannan really didn't know who she took after. She was so gossipy. "Are you stupid? A servant is worth Shen Jing rushing in to save, and he lives in the wing room in the backyard that only VIPs stay in."

"Hmm..what does that mean?"

"Nannan, don't ever say you know me again."

"why?"

"Shame on you!" I rolled my eyes at her. She had followed me for so long, but she couldn't even see such a thing. It was really shameful.

"What? Tell me quickly!"

"Wait a moment, there is something else."

I found a kitchen of my own, which was the small kitchen in the inner courtyard. "There's a distinguished guest in the backyard. Send some food and this medicine over in half an hour."

The young cook in the kitchen has always had a good relationship with me. She asked me gossipingly, "Who is that man? He lives in the backyard right after he arrived. He is not an ordinary person. Even you and Master Shen risked your lives to save him."

"Well... I said I don't know, do you believe me?"

How would I know who that person was when I ran away in panic after being looked down upon by the cook?

"Why do you still want to send him food?"

How come this girl's gossiping mentality is even stronger than mine? "It shows our magnanimity."

"Let's go see how Zi Fu is doing. She's really busy every day."

Zi Fu and Shen Jing's rooms are next to mine. They each have their own rooms. Rich people are really extravagant.

From a distance I saw a lot of people gathered at the door of Shen Jing's room. I went forward to see what was going on, but I couldn't squeeze in.

I asked a servant why there were so many people here.

"You don't know, after you rescued Mr. Shen, his body was covered with blisters."

This sounds like the same woman in the backyard. I tried desperately to squeeze in, but just a head popped up and the door was closed. What was going on?

I knocked on the door, "Ms. Zi Fu, it's me, Lele~"

Zi Fu heard my voice and came to open the door for me. I saw that Zi Fu was sweating profusely due to anxiety.

Let me in and close the door. I groped my way in and the scene in front of me really scared me.

Shen Jing looked similar to that woman, except that his skin had turned black, which scared me.

"Zi Fu, what's going on?" Zi Fu was very anxious as she wrote the prescription.

"No, you have to ask my father to come. I can't tell what kind of poison he has been poisoned by."

It seemed that Shen Jing was seriously poisoned. After writing a letter home, I found the servant I was most familiar with and asked him to go and invite Uncle Zhiyi as soon as possible.

I saw Zi Fu using a needle to prick the blisters one by one, and black pus flowed out, getting all over the clothes, which looked so disgusting.

Zi Fu's head was covered in sweat, so I went forward to wipe it off for her. "Zi Fu, don't worry. Zhi Yi's father will be here soon."

"What should I do? If I had known earlier, I would have listened to my father and read some medical books carefully. It's all my fault, all my fault."

I hugged Zi Fu and comforted her softly, "It's okay, it's okay. Zhiyi's father will be here soon."

Zi Fu paced back and forth anxiously. Shen Jing was completely unconscious.

"Zi Fu, you've been walking around for so long that my eyes are blurry. Please sit down and have a good rest. Have a cup of tea."

As soon as I finished speaking, there was a commotion outside the door. Zi Fu opened the door a little and saw that it was Zhiyi's father.

Zi Fu sent away all the people outside the door, leaving only Shen Jing's servant, "Daddy, please go and see what happened to my husband."

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, let me take a look first." Zhiyi's father first checked Shen Jing's whites of eyes and tongue coating.

He took out the acupuncture bag and said, "Zi Fu, Le Le, help me hold him down."

The two of us stepped forward and each held one of their shoulders. Zhiyi's father gave Shen Jing several injections.

At first Shen Jing didn't react at all. After the last injection, Zhiyi's father told me to hold it down.

As soon as the needle pierced Shen Jing's body, he began to struggle violently. As the needle went deeper, Shen Jing's struggle became more intense.

Finally, the three of us couldn't hold him down any longer, "Xiao Wu, come in quickly!"

It turns out that Shen Jing's personal servant was called Xiao Wu. As soon as Xiao Wu came in, he understood what was going on. The big man was much stronger than the three of us.

Xiao Wu held Shen Jing in his arms alone. Shen Jing was completely unable to move. Zhiyi's father was also checking whether the needle had moved.

I helped Zi Fu to the side to wipe her wound. When I held Shen Jing down, Shen Jing flung himself over and Zi Fu's face hit the corner of the table, leaving a big cut.

"It's okay. Just apply some medicine and it will be fine in a few days."

"How can I do this? If I get a scar, where will I go to cry?"

"Daddy is here, how could he let me get a scar?"

Only then did I feel relieved and went to prepare some food for them. The main thing was that they, father and daughter, must want to talk about something, and it would definitely not be convenient for me to be there.

The cook was preparing the meal, so I started a small stove, stewed a chicken, added a few side dishes, and asked someone to send it to Zi Fu and the others.

"Le Le, I heard that Miss Li's father is here."

This young cook is not very old, but how come she can get information so quickly?

"How do you know?" When I was stewing the chicken, I stewed a small one and ate it with the little cook.

The little cook stuffed a chicken leg in her mouth and gossiped to me while sobbing, "I heard it from the people in Zi Fu's room."

"It's been a bustling scene early in the morning." As expected, gossips are most frequent in eating areas. In such a large Shen Mansion, the little cook must know the most.

"Has the person in the backyard left?" I began to change the subject.

"No, and the lady's food is very expensive. I got up early to find those things, but I was exhausted."

"real or fake?"

"Really? And Madam Jiang also told me to give her whatever she wants. She is an honored guest, so I can't give her too much trouble."

"Mrs. Jiang has come forward. It seems that she is really an extraordinary person."

"No, I heard it was a young lady from some family. She sent a lot of clothes early in the morning. I secretly looked at them and they were all made of silk."

"She is truly the eldest daughter of a wealthy family."

"Of course not. Maybe she has a crush on Master Shen."

"Ah, but my young lady was married in a grand sedan chair. It's impossible to give her a position." I complained angrily.

"Yes, such a rich lady wants to be a concubine. Her family will definitely not agree to this."

....................

After we finished eating the chicken and chatted, I went to find Zi Fu and the others.

It’s been so long, we must have finished talking about it, so there must be no problem going now.

I sneaked in front of the door and eavesdropped, but there was no sound from inside. I knocked on the door, but no one answered.
